Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie pose for intimate portrait on the cover of Vanity Fair Italia

While their new film is about a marriage in chaos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look far from their embattled characters in By The Sea. The Hollywood power couple grace the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair Italia as they pose for an intimate photo shoot. The two stars tenderly embrace while seated on a bed, with Angelina, 40, wrapping her legs around Brad's torso.


The actress-turned-director wears only a silk slip as she nuzzles her head under her husband's grizzled chin.
Brad wears a simple white T-shirt as he sports a goatee in the spare black and white photo.
Reaching one of his muscular arms around his wife, the hunky star looks decades younger than his 51 years.

The film, a European-art-house-influenced look at marital dysfunction features the real-life couple as a bickering twosome. But it seems the pleasures of voyeurism extend only so far.
The poorly reviewed movie had its release scaled back to just ten theaters, where it made only $95,440 for a doleful per-screen average of $9,544.

Universal, the studio behind the picture, pegs the budget at $10million, but industry figures believe the cost of the picture is higher, citing its extended shoot in Malta.

The actress recently opened up about filming sex scenes with Brad, who she has been with since shooting Mr And Mrs Smith in 2005, in By The Sea.

She told Entertainment Weekly: 'It's the strangest thing in the world to be lying naked in a bathtub with an iPad that's showing you the shot outside, while your husband is at the door and you're directing him to come in and make love to you in front of a bunch of other men with cameras.'
